Educational Opportunity Program Fund

The Educational Opportunity Program at UB supports motivated
and talented students who—because of inadequate financial
resources and academic preparation—have not had the same
opportunities as other students.

Nearly 1,000 students would not be enrolled at UB this year
without this program which provides college preparation workshops,
advising, tutoring and mentoring, and textbook loan program.
Students must be from low-income backgrounds and residents of New
York State to qualify for the program.

As a result of this personal attention, many Educational
Opportunity Program alumni have gone on to successful careers in
law, medicine, business, teaching, engineering, architecture,
information technology, and other fields.

UB strives to continue to offer access to higher education to
all students, but declining support from New York State makes this
more challenging every year. That’s where you can
make a difference.
